"A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper." ― Stanley Kubrick Topic(s): Freedom More From Stanley Kubrick "The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle." "Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all." "The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes." More In Freedom "I watched a lot of silent directors who were absolutely great like John Ford and Fritz Lang, Tod Browning, and also some very modern directors like The Coen Brothers. The directors take the freedom within their own movies to be melodramatic or funny when they chose to be. They do whatever they want and they don’t care about the genre."― Michel Hazanavicius "It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them."― Mark Twain "Negroes – Sweet and docile, Meek, humble, and kind: Beware the day – They change their mind."― Langston Hughes
